Quick and Dirty Flu Fighter | Orange, Grapefruit, Lemon, Apple and Ginger Fruit Juice

Apple Fresh Fruit Juice Recipe

When I made my Apple Fresh Fruit Juice I used granny smith apples and the best red grapes I could find. This fresh fruit juice is absolutely delicious, but tart (sharp). Over ice it’s an excellent, refreshing morning drink to sip on and definitely a “wake me up” juice. If you prefer something sweeter, use a sweeter apple. As is, this is an awesome fruit juice and very easy to make. See below.

Apple Fresh Fruit Juice Recipe

The Apple Fresh recipe comes from the book,  The Juicing Bible. This is a wonderful book and has many delicious recipes for juicing as well as smoothies. In addition it has an abundance of useful information on health conditions and healthy foods. I highly recommend this book.

The Apple Fresh Fruit Juice Recipe I show here has a slight modification. I used granny smith apples and I didn’t use the powdered ginseng as mentioned in The Juicing Bible. Maybe I’ll try the powdered ginseng (1/2 tsp.) the next time.

The recipe from The Juicing Bible isn’t specific regarding the apples. Granny smith apples are lower in sugar content and that’s why I try to use them. It’s a tangy taste too! For myself I love all apples. I mix them up sometimes and enjoy experimenting. This is an excellent morning drink and will get the body going. Juice and enjoy!

Serves 2 people

• 3 apples (granny smith)


• 1 cup of red grapes


• 1/2 lemon (peeled) 

 

UPDATE ON GRAPES:

The wealth of antioxidant nutrients in grapes is somewhat startling! In addition to providing us with conventional antioxidant nutrient like vitamin C and manganese, grapes are filled with antioxidant phytonutrients that range from common carotenoids like beta-carotene to unusual stilbenes like resveratrol, and the total number of different antioxidant nutrients in grapes runs well into the hundreds. – whfoods.com

As always, thanks for reading and happy juicing!

Apple Fresh Fruit Juice Recipe

Amazing Quercetin In Apples

I use apples in almost all of my juice recipes. I also eat apples raw, stewed and baked. There are so many different kinds and so many flavors, I’ll never get tired of them. One of my favorites is the Granny Smith Apple. It’s crisp, juicy, has freckled green skin, is sweetly tart and excellent for juicing. It also contains less sugar than red (gala) apples. It’s grown in New Zealand, Australia, California and Arizona so usually available year-round. Refrigerated storage time: 240 days. Wow!

 

Benefits Of Quercetin

Here are some potential benefits of quercetin. Quercetin may help fight cell-damaging free radicals and quercetin is a flavonoid that may stave off viruses when the body is under stress. Flavonoids give color to many fruits, flowers and vegetables. Quercetin may also significantly improve the symptoms associated with two forms of prostatitis, chronic nonbacterial prostatitis and prostadynia. When consumed, it acts as an antioxidant in the body.

The apple contains a high concentration of quercetin at approximately 440mg/kg and apples are very common in juicing recipes. The consumption of apples give the body a boost of antioxidants. It’s well known that antioxidants rid the body of free radicals that damage cells and cause health issues such as heart disease, cancer and premature aging.

Here’s a delicious recipe: Apple Fresh

Serves 2 people

• 3 apples (granny smith)


• 1 cup of red grapes


• 1/2 lemon (peeled)

I enjoy adding an apple to my green juices, it just makes them more palatable for me. I only have to wash and slice them in half, then juice. It’s so easy. I also love the taste of fresh apple juice by it’s self and I think you’ll agree with me that it’s a beneficially amazing fruit. So get your apples out and ready to juice. Juice to your health!

Pink Orchard Berry Buster | Apple and Strawberry Juice

I made this recipe this morning for Virginia (Health Juice Fanatic ‏@healthyjuicers). Most of the recipes I’ve been making lately are enough for two people. The Pink Orchard Berry Buster is a delicious fruit juice recipe that I got out of  The Big Book of Juices.

“With some 405 recipes for fruit and vegetable juices, smoothies, and quenchers, this newly updated and expanded edition of Natalie Savona’s essential kitchen guide to juicing now offers health-conscious readers even more. A clever indexing system sorts the juices by key ingredients, by nutrients, and by health benefits.”

I really like how the book is organized and I think you’ll like it too. I can just skim the outer page edges for what I’m looking for, ie. Fruit Based Juices – Apple, Fruit Based Juices – Grapefruit, Fruit Based Juices – Orange and so on. Smart!

Pink Orchard Berry Buster with a Fizz!

I like adding sparkling water to this one, but no matter how you drink it, it’s great! I love the taste of combining apples and strawberries. I used red delicious apples and some sweet ripe strawberries. Try this one, you won’t be sorry. It’s extremely easy to make.

Strawberries are very low in Saturated Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium. And… they are a very good source of Vitamin C and Manganese.

Makes 22 ounces

• 3 apples


• 2 good handfuls of strawberries ( you may substitute any red berry such as raspberries)

If you have a juice recipe you’d like to share on our website, please contact me. I’ll be sure to give credit where credit is due. As always, thanks for reading and happy juicing!

UPDATE: Strawberries are one of the most delicious fruits for juicing, but be sure to wash them thoroughly if purchased from a store. Organic is better if available or grow your own. See: The deadly pesticide on your strawberries: How the EPA left us all exposed
